The 78th Army Day Parade is set to take place in Jaipur this morning. The Army will showcase its discipline, strength, and modern military capabilities before thousands of spectators on Mahal Road in Jagatpura, where the grand programme will begin at around 10 AM. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, and Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi will attend the parade. Final preparations have been completed, and tight security arrangements are in place for the event.

This year’s celebration holds special significance, as it is for the first time that the Army Day Parade is being held outside a traditional cantonment area, bringing India’s military heritage and operational excellence directly to the people. Akashvani Correspondent reports that the event offers citizens a unique opportunity to witness the Army’s traditions, discipline, and its continuously evolving capabilities. The parade will also showcase the technology-driven strength of the Indian Army, whose importance on the battlefield is growing steadily.

It will present a blend of cutting-edge technology, battlefield innovation, and the unwavering courage and discipline of Indian soldiers. People have been arriving at the venue on Mahal Road since early morning to witness this historic event, including a large number of students. Special traffic and security arrangements have been put in place across the city for the smooth conduct of the parade.
